Me neither Arlene... sorry. Lots of time spent at the hospital and rearranging my rooms here. So I need to start my swaps and visit mom. I would have spent a few hours helping if it wasn't so far away. I just hate losing almost 2 hours traveling. Mom is failing more and more... not sure how much longer we'll have her with us.

Oh, Nancy - I'm so sorry to hear about your mom (even though I don't know either of you - it's still a hard thing - been there, done that...) Know that love and light and hugs and prayers are headed your way...

Arlene - sorry I couldn't make it, either. We've been trying to get to Cooperstown every fall since we moved back to Syracuse in 2007, and today was the day - just got home! GORGEOUS day! Perfect weather, pleasant back-roads drive - lots of leaves already off the trees, though (stupid wind...) Working on HYCCT cards this afternoon, and brainstorming projects for November 2nd. SO excited!

Just finished unloading my car. We filled four large flat rate boxes today. I think we filled at least one and a half boxes with Christmas cards and the rest various occasions. We had about ten people help, some all day and some for a few hours. Of course, 500 cards were already done by stampers in Forestport so that was a huge contibution. they just needed bagging. Four of us worked on Christmas cards that I prepped while the others bagged cards.

Who wants to take bets on how long all the stamping stuff that I just brought in stays on my living room floor??? We didn't use anything except maybe 5% of what I took! You would think I would learn...

Now I'm going to recoup on the couch with a bacon sandwich since Stephen just cooked bacon. Why does bacon taste soooo good??? I finally found GF bread that tastes like bread Deland's oat bran bread and millet bread. Miracle Whip and bacon. Yummy!

bacon needs tomato & lettuce
allen now cooks bacon on the grill. we cook 2-3 lbs at a time. just keep it on hand. of course so much that matthew isn't home.
he does come home on friday afternoon.
he will take his chemistry GRE, at colgate saturday morning.
then in the afternoon he will go pheasant hunting.

I am entered into the Holiday Tag and have now read that the tag should be 4x4??? I thought it was a tag for a gift bag or something so I purchased actual manilla tags at hobby lobby and embellished them. Should they really be 4x4? That seems quite large for a gift tag. I have already made mine up and hope they will be okay to swap? I used standard size manilla tag (2x3 maybe)

I read Gaylas description of the tags, she quoted 4 x4 but somewhere I read it could be 3 x4 or someting like that, mine are 3 1/2 x 4 1/2 so as long as it is a decent size I think it will be fine, if it is too small, and you are all done, how about cutting a larger base for it??? Just thinking. (no comment ladies)

sounds good to me. 4x4 was what I had said. I reasoning was/is having enough room for a message.and to avoid too small
